GPIB Analyzer Overview
The GPIB analyzer is an application that you can use for testing, debugging, and analysis. It can monitor, capture, and participate in bus activity on the GPIB. You can use the GPIB analyzer to test and debug your own applications by monitoring and capturing GPIB activity while your application is running. The analyzer also has tools to help you analyze the data that you capture. Analyzing this data can help you solve many of the difficulties associated with GPIB communication, such as addressing inconsistencies, protocol violations, and simple bus timeout conditions.
The GPIB Analyzer User Manual includes a tutorial chapter and a chapter containing examples to show you how you might use the analyzer. The user manual is available on your NI-488.2 for Windows CD. To view this document online, insert your NI-488.2 for Windows CD. When the NI-488.2 for Windows screen appears, select the Getting Started Documentation option. The Getting Started Documentation utility helps you find the documentation you want to view.
